I was excited to give it a go but also totally intimidated by the drawing – there were ideas I had that I simply couldn’t do. But I loved having the assignment in my head all the time. I love how it made me look at my day, searching for the four panels.

2. What, if anything, did you learn from the program?

I now realise (on an even deeper level!) how much thought, work and skill goes into a good comic.

3. Which one of your own comics are you most pleased with and why?

I think I like #4 –the one handed activities. Because the things were easy enough to draw so that they didn’t get in the way of the idea.

Tried to draw a smug look in the second panel to no avail. Also tried for guilt in the last but only got to sad. But it’s been really interesting to try. I have such the urge to look up an old cartoon drawing book from the 50s to practice.
